I drive about 60mph, everywhere I go. The only problem with that is I like to see how freakin fast I can get there everytime. I don't think my truck hates it as much as my nittos do.

Dude....we're talking about trucks here....not formula 1 cars.

My Dad taught me a valuable lesson: take care of your stuff, and it will take care of you. I love to lay down some rubber as much as the next guy, but I've got better things to spend my money on than tires, like a '67 Camaro that was built for that fun ****!

I am 17 and feel kinda bad when I run the truck hard. She has about 164k on the odo and I have to be nicer to her every thousand miles. Every time I wanna run it hard through the gears or pass people on the highway I just kinda bottle it up till I have the right truck to do it. Not to say I don't get on it now and again, I just try to be nicer than I feel the need to be. When I get the 408 I'm gonna be going through tires like nothing.
